Notes:

Change in price is the change since the last report. Hay quoted is sourced and delivered locally, GST exclusive unless stated otherwise. It should be noted that local prices quoted may not be the cheapest available, sourcing it from another region may be more affordable, and buyers are encouraged to evaluate all options. Prices are indicative to a mid-range shedded product, and based on the best indication of market value at the time of reporting. It should be noted there is a wide variation in quality of hay, prices for a mid-range product will not reflect the weighted average of trade. Prices will naturally vary based on the product quantity and quality, buyer/seller relationship and the size of the trade.

Hay commentary

Little btis of drizzle fell over the region this week but no substantial rainfall was recorded. Light frosts were reported in parts of the region and unusually hot days were also reported this week.

Southwest Western Australia is dry and crops are not looking promising. Some parts of Western Australia will start cutting hay in the next 1 -2 weeks. With very little rain forecast for the months ahead it is anticipated that many crops due for a cut in October may not make it.

Demand is strong in the region with many farmers having ran out of feed. Hay supplies are tight in southwest Western Australia and there is limited carryover from previous seasons as most of this has moved to the eastern states. Hay supplies moved fast and there is limited supply left.

There are no price changes noted this week.

Cereal hay: +/-0 ($300 to $380/t). Prices remain steady this week.

Lucerne hay: +/-0 ($450 to $490). Prices remain steady this week.

Straw: +/-0 ($130 to 180/t). Prices remain steady this week.

Pasture hay: +/-0 ($240 to $280/t). Prices remain steady this week.

Please note unless stated otherwise, prices are per tonne, sourced and delivered locally. The price range indicated is for feeds of varying quality with the price range generally indicative of quality of feed. We recommend feed testing and viewing of fodder before purchase to be sure of the quality of feed.
